Rotary, Supper Club, and RCJ Day!
Another great weekend is over… or should I say, I have recovered from another great weekend. Last Thursday, the Rotary came and put the art that they will be auctioning at their Gala on every flat surface, and we all wandered around, appreciating the wealth of local talent while drinking lovely wine. Carrie Campbell and Rotary volunteers did an amazing job of planning a fun event and raising some money for their organization. We just love it when groups like the Rotary ‘use’ our place for good parties! On Saturday, Harlan Gibson’s Supper Club (Pacific Northwest cuisine) graced us with the experience of having oysters and clams in Wimberley! Wow, what a concept! We sat on the porch and had shellfish with Hedges Cellars’ CMS, then moved inside for a wild mushroom salad (that they had to pry away from me) with Foris Pinot Noir, glazed salmon with quinoa tabouleh that was ridiculously sumptuous, especially with the Bethel Heights’ Pinot Noir. We finished with a dessert sampler of coffee themed goodies: espresso gelato, cappuccino shooter, and mocha biscotti. To say it was amazing is an understatement. Sunday was another great day, started off with Miss Jane’s class “Riesling Rocks!” and learned that, indeed, it does. We tasted six Rieslings, from dry (yes, Riesling can be dry!) to sweet and, as usual, laughed ourselves silly.It was also Rodney’s birthday, so we piled up on the porch nestled in the hills and the setting sun and just enjoyed the heck out of another gorgeous springtime in Wimberley.

cms is a great value, both white and red. clams and oysters and mussels or whatever you served that far inland is ridiculous, but i hunger for those too here in the midwest. you have mentioned a few awesome wines that i know here, but i really feel strongly that i could ROCK YOUR WORLD with some wines that i know and could purchase with my generous discount…miss ya, xo
